History See other History Articles Title: The King-Crane Commission Report, August 28, 1919 The King-Crane Commission Report, August 28, 1919 Report of [the] American section of Inter-allied Commission of mandates in Turkey. An official United States government report by the Inter-allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey. American Section Confidential Appendix of the Commission Report "Charles R. Crane was born at Chicago, Ill., in 1858. He was engaged in the manufacturing business in that city for more than a quarter of a century. He was a member of President Wilson's Special Diplomatic Commission to Russia in 1917; was a member of the American Section of the Peace Conference Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey in 1919; American Ambassador to China from May 1920, to June 1921." Poster Comment: http://www.ralphmag.org/BI/king-crane-2.html The Commissioners were in the Middle East from June 10 until July 21, 1919. Over these six weeks they traveled over what is now Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. They spent full two weeks in Palestine. Everywhere they went they were received enthusiastically. The Anglo-French promise of self determination and government by the consent of the governed had received wide-spread attention and America's strong advocacy for democracy was well known. The Commissioners had come from President Wilson and were most welcome. .... To create a Jewish state over the objections of the Palestinians, the commission concluded, would violate the American principle affirming the right of self-determination of nations. In its report of August, 1919, the King Crane Commission advised that, "...the project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish commonwealth should be given up."
